[QUOTE="InsaneNutter, post: 10130314, member: 110636"] I think really you need to decide how properly you want to do this, buying a random old PC and connecting usb drives to it will work for Plex, however is not ideal from a NAS point of view as you have no redundancy for your data, if the hard drive fails you have lost that data. Do you just want a Plex server or an actual NAS where their is some redundancy to protect you if one of the hard drives fails? Either way you want an Intel processor as Plex can use this to transcode multiple video streams very efficiently with low power usage: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Hardware_decoding_and_encoding[/URL] - the newer the intel processor the more capable it is for transcoding. You don't really need a powerful processor for transcoding video with Plex, the processor just needs to support Quick Sync. You will need a Skylake or better processor to transcode HEVC. If building a proper NAS then i'd recommend [URL='https://unraid.net/']UnRaid[/URL] for the OS, the advantage of UnRaid is you can mix and match drive sizes in your nas and have a large parity which will allow you to recover the data on a single drive failure. Another advantge of UnRaid is you can just spin up the actual drive(s) in use, this is a lot more power efficient when you have a lot of hard drives. [URL='https://www.truenas.com/']TrueNAS[/URL] is also a good option for the OS, however its more enterprise based and will require you to purchase all the drives you wish to use up front as adding drives at a later date while is possible, is far from ideal. All the drives will be spun up 24/7 due to the way ZFS (the file system) works so will not be as energy efficient. Either of the above NAS OS's can run Plex and various other useful apps in a Docker container. Also regardless of the NAS OS you should backup your data if you care about it. [/QUOTE]
